The country's second largest metropolis is a captivating city that leaves no one indifferent. The city prospered from the beginning of the 20th century thanks to the textile industry, the production of synthetic fibers and the steel industry. Today it is a large university city and the national capital of tango and reggaetón. A modern city popular with digital nomads and millennial travelers for its urban atmosphere and spring-like climate. In 2013, Medellín was awarded the title of World Innovation Capital by the Wall Street Journal and Citigroup, which praised the city's dynamism and its advances in social integration and education, ecology, technology, architecture and culture (an 80% drop in the homicide rate since 1991, a significant reduction in the rate ofCO2 emissions, cable cars and escalators serving the most disadvantaged neighborhoods such as Comuna 13, modern public libraries in the neighborhoods, Explora Park, etc.). The city is constantly evolving. The central district, for example, which has long been abandoned even though it contains the city's main tourist and cultural attractions, is the subject of a vast urban renovation project that should bear fruit in a few years.The inhabitants are as proud of their city as they are ready to do anything to make your stay as pleasant as possible. But don't tell them about the Narcos series that you loved, or about a certain Pablo, with sparks in his eyes. The city has nothing to do with that time and it would be an offense to them to participate in the tourist visits dedicated to this sinister character, hated by the vast majority of the Colombian population.
